Thunder is not in the official F-Droid repository. It might be in a third-party repository such as IzzyOnDroid.

AudioBooth is a free and open source iOS app for Audiobookshelf.

There is Synctrain and Möbius Sync. They are not perfect due to iOS restrictions on apps running in the background, but they work well enough as long as I occasionally open them to make sure they sync.

HGST was created after Hitachi bought IBM’s hard drive business. It was then later bought by Western Digital.

I no longer use Nextcloud. I use rclone with the smb remote for my NAS.

pCloud has a Linux client. Both GUI and CLI. But I personally use rclone for all cloud services. It is often even more reliable and offers better performance than official clients. It also allows managing multiple cloud services from the same place. It supports client-side encryption as well.

This is also my favorite mobile RSS app. I am currently using it with Miniflux.

Unpopular opinion: I like this idea. I like games that are essentially interactive stories with an open world to explore. I don’t want to be challenged when playing games, but even on the easiest difficulty level, I occasionally hit a challenge that results in me abandoning the game altogether.

AI is not necessary for this though. The Persona games handle this well where the player does not need to restart from the last save when they die. They get an option that fully heals them and they can keep going.

I love the design of this much more than the Time 2 and appreciate how easy they made it to switch my order.

eSIM. It is an integrated chip on the device.

It’s not just iPhone anymore. Pixel 10 removed the SIM card as well.

I wish they still included a SIM card slot.

I self-host Miniflux. The web client is very good on both desktop and mobile, but I prefer using it with the lire app on iOS.

I have been using Brave Search for over a year and have been very pleased with the results. I have also seen a lot of good things about Kagi, but it does require a subscription.

I have had positive experiences with both Radicale and Baikal. I am not sure about the Home Assistant integration, but they both use CalDAV, so I would be surprised if there wasn’t a way of connecting them. iOS has native support for CalDAV, but Android needs the davx5 app (free on F-Droid).

Proton Mail kind of supports Thunderbird on their paid plans by using the bridge which acts as a local mail server which can then be used in Thunderbird. Tuta does not support Thunderbird at all. Lock-in is the biggest downside of these encrypted email providers.

Thunderbird does not currently offer mail hosting, but they are working on it.

Oregon. I have only ever heard them called weed eaters.
